This is a fan’s personal view of AFC Bournemouth from the outside looking in. It reports on the daily official activities reported by the club and comments made by individual fans on social media and fanbase websites. Life as an AFCB fan is never dull. As a life-long supporter of the Cherries it is the friendliness of the staff, fans and my enthusiasm for the club that has inspired me to start writing this blog.

Is there another surprise coming for AFCB fans?

Why do I get the feeling that there is another big story about to break any time soon about AFCB?

Yes, we have announced the best preseason fixture known to an English Championship club in living memory and Steve Fletcher is to be immortalised as a wax work in the club shop, but what we all want to hear is has the club gong back in for Danny Ings or is it looking at other striker options like Simeon Jackson?

While other Championship clubs are starting to bring in strikers, AFCB is yet to publicly make another move since the failed bid to lure Danny Ings to AFCB from Burnley. The Madrid game has been a bit of a distraction from the transfer market I am keen to know who Eddie Howe's main target is to bring to the club to bolster the attacking options.

Somehow I just expect Eddie Mitchell to spring another surprise on us fans. He has a habit of keeping a secret when it matters and then lavishing the fans with some good news. I do hope that is the case now and that Edie Howe has been closely studying those that can come in either on a free transfer or for a small transfer fee to give Pitman, Grabbam and Tubbs some support.

I don't suppose Real Madrid want to release any of their top strikers for a nominal fee and a big cut in wages?

About Me

I love watching AFCB with my two sons and you'll see me at Dean Court most home games and some away ones as I am an exile, no longer living in Bournemouth. I have supported the Cherries since the late 1970s, but did not go to my first match until 1981. I am a business to business magazine journalist on an international publication. I have been a journalist since 1992 when I completed my post-graduate diploma in journalism studies at Cardiff University.
